Ah yes, the infamous scenery add-ons business.
Now, when it comes to pirated software, what is the moderator's' opinion on software companies pirating freeware from hobbyists websites, incorporating it into their own software packages and selling it for gain? I'm not suggesting that any part of the scenery mentioned above is pirated but there was a huge row about freeware piracy among simulator enthusiasts a couple of years ago. There used to be a plethora of websites where enthusiasts swapped amateur Flight Sim scenery add-ons, produced for fun but incorporating copyright clauses. The numbers of such sites have now dwindled as a direct result of piracy by commercial firms.
When it comes to pirate software, as in other matters there is no black and white, only shades of grey. Just because software comes in a pretty box with loads of licences doesn't necessarily mean its clean.
To answer your question Pengineer, the naked ladies are in a different city. The side street where they operate has huge stocks of dodgy watches but I've not noticed any software. Then again, who would be looking?
